OUTSIDE CARD-RECEIVER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 343,050, dated June 1, 1886.

Application filed March 13, 1886. Serial No. 195,1f8. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, AMBROSE MOORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Attica, in the county of Fountain and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Outside Gard-Receiver, to be placed upon the outside of the door ofdwellings, ofwhich the following is a specification.

Heretofore calling-cards have been placed either under or some place about the door, and sometimes they either become lost, destroyed, or soiled.

The object of my invention is to obviate this by having calling-cards deposited in the outside card-receiver, where they will be perfectly safe, and cannot become los't,destroyed. or soiled. 1 attain this object as illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front view of the entire cardreceiver; Fig. 2, a vertical section of the same on line 00 at, Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a horizontal section showing the depth of the cardreceiver; Fig. 4., a front view of the box or receiver; Fig. 5, a top View of the sliding bottom.

Similar letters refer to similar parts th roughout the several views.

The box 0, the lid B, the top part, A, the bottom part, E, and the slide D, constitute the entire card-receiver, all to be made of castironor other suitable material. The box 0, Fig. 4, is fastened to the door by two screws passing through the holes in the projections at either side. The box 0 has abevel-edge on inner side at bottom. (See Fig. 2.) The lid B is fastened to the top part, A, by two hinges,- F F, these hinges being cast, respectively, with the top A and lid B. The hinges on lid B are so constructed as to throw the lid B when'shut up and under the top part, A, (see Fig. 2,) thereby protecting the inner side from rain, dust &c. The top part, A, is fastened to the door byascrew. (See Fig. 2.) The lower part, E, is so constructed thatabevel ismade at the top, extending outward, (see Fig. 2,) and is fastened to the door the same as the top part, A. the ends being placed up against the box O. (See Fig. 1.) The slide D is beveled under on both its side edges, (see Fig. 5,) and has small knob in the center on the lowerside. (See Fig. 2.) The bevel on O, at bottom extending inward, and the bevel on E, attop extending outward, form adovetail. (See Fig. 2. The slide D is inserted by the small knob into the dovetail-formed by the bevels on C and E. (See Fig. 2.) The calling-cards are placed in the outside card-receiver by opening thelid B, and are removed therefrom by pulling out the slide D.

Having fully described my invention, what I desire to claim, and secure by Letters Pat- AMBROSE MOORE.
